Which Georgian Wine to Try: A Beginner's Guide
Saperavi, rkatsiteli, qvevri amber, pét-nat — a short guide to the main Georgian wines so you can order with confidence.
Just arrived in Georgia and wondering which Georgian wine to try? Here is a quick guide to the main Georgian wines at LEVEL Wine Bar to help you order like a pro.
Reds
- Saperavi — the ultimate red variety: rich, full-bodied, with dark berry notes (try not only the classic style, but also our unique Saperavi beef tartare on the kitchen menu).
- Dry Aleksandrouli and Ojalesi Rosé — an excellent choice when you're in the mood for something elegant and food-friendly.
Whites, Ambers & Semi-Sweet
- Tsolikouri and Chinuri — fresh, mineral, and highly drinkable white wines.
- Krakhuna Amber and Kisi Amber — vibrant native varieties, while Rkatsiteli Qvevri embodies the traditional clay-vessel aging method with gentle tannins.
- Khvanchkara — the famous naturally semi-sweet wine with a rich fruit-forward profile.
Sparkling
- Tsitska Pet-Nat — a "live" natural sparkling wine: light, trendy, and refreshing.
Regions & Tastings
Kakheti produces powerful reds, while Imereti and Racha offer lighter styles. Our full wine list is available here.
The best way to explore the variety is through a professional wine tasting in Batumi, where we serve selections paired with the right bites, like our local winery cheese board. And if you're looking for new spots to relax, drop by New Boulevard to our beach bar LEVEL Beach: here you can pair a glass of your favorite wine with the sound of the waves, hookahs, and live music.
